Poet, critic, impresario, gadfly, visionary, tastemaker: more than anyone, Guillaume Apollinaire embodies the Paris art world of the early 20th century. His rampant enthusiasms and antipathies, and his remarkable acumen, make him still today the most evocative commentator on the intellectual ferment of the time. He was one of the first to champion Picasso and Braque, and to identify the importance of Delaunay, Duchamp, and Rousseau; he coined the word "Surrealism" and almost single-handedly pushed Cubism into the mainstream. With a new preface by Roger Shattuck, this is the definitive edition of these seminal writings.--Back cover
